A Little Fun Keeps You Young
A Little Fun Keeps You Young
A little fun keeps you young;
A little laughter keeps you bright.
When you get to that age
When a mid life crisis looms
Go out and act like a kid again.
Don’t worry what the neighbors might say
They are probably crazy anyway.
Change your hair color grow it long
Change your style and wear a thong
That will put some spring in your step
Or goose yourself to give you some pep
Don't worry what the neighbors might say
They are probably crazy anyway
Dance till the wee hours in the morning
Let loose, but don’t get lost in the spring
Smile, even if there’s nobody around
Run, until you’re nowhere to be found
Don’t worry what the neighbors might say
You are more than crazy than they anyway..
Pssst..have fun reading this, please, lol.
a fun collab write with David Harris and Jojo Bean

'A little fun keeps you young;
A little laughter keeps you bright.
When you get to that age'...
Funny and amusing...fun apart, i find a ray of wisdom in those quoted lines...do you mean a kid daughter- a grand daughter- will keep us 'young' when we get to that 'age' Meggie? ...excellent piece...10
They say laughter is the best medicine and an effective therapy too.It displaced the stress and depression that were also known as the silence killer.Well Meggie, your poem has kept me going, at least for another day lol.They prolonged my zest to embark to a more refreshing day.Thanks for the gift my dear Meggie.Love ya.Have fun a little more.
brett.
Meggie, you and the guys have done a fabulous job with this crazy fun filled poem. To clown around makes the world a happier place, and as you say, the neighbors are crazy anyway.
To release the happy child in us is an enriching experience. We have laughter clubs in our city where people just go and laugh together for quite long periods of time and it helps their lives so much! 10 Karin Anderson
Wonderful write, , made me smile from start to finish, well done all of you,
